Skillshare

Skillshare is a New York City–based online learning community for creators, founded in 2010 by Michael Karnjanaprakorn and Malcolm Ong. The platform hosts thousands of on-demand video classes across creative disciplines — illustration, design, photography, animation, lettering, film, productivity, writing, and business — taught by working creators and industry professionals. Skillshare operates on a paid subscription model (Premium membership) that grants members unlimited access to the class catalog, project-based learning, and a discussion community where students submit class projects for feedback. The company has a teacher revenue-share program in which class creators are paid based on watch time and student enrollments, and runs Skillshare for Teams as a B2B offering for organizations to give employees access to the catalog. Skillshare does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, partner API, or SDK. The platform's programmatic surface is limited to internal web/mobile clients and an affiliate/marketing referral program; there is no documented developer portal, public webhook system, or third-party integration API for the Skillshare catalog, enrollments, watch-time, or teacher-payout data.

Skillshare is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Online Learning, E-Learning, Creative Education, Video Courses, and Subscription Learning.

Skillshare’s developer surface includes engineering blog, GitHub presence, YouTube channel, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/skillshare: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
